About

Cleanup.pictures is a web-based photo retouching tool that uses artificial intelligence to erase unwanted elements from images. Instead of manually cloning backgrounds with traditional editors such as Photoshop's clone stamp, users brush over the area they want cleaned and the AI reconstructs what was behind it.

The technique behind the product is called inpainting: reconstructing missing or covered regions of a photo so the result looks natural. Cleanup.pictures applies this automatically, so removing a tourist from a holiday shot, a timestamp from a scan, or a watermark from a product image takes a few clicks rather than layered manual editing. The service is part of the ClipDrop ecosystem, which also offers related tools such as background removal, background replacement, uncrop, and generative fill under a ClipDrop Pro plan. Cleanup.pictures itself can be used free in a browser, and an API is available for developers who want inpainting inside their own products.

Key Features

Object and people removal: Brush over any unwanted person, object, or defect, and the AI fills in the area with a plausible reconstruction of the background.
Text, logo, and watermark removal: Unwanted text, date stamps, logos, and watermarks can be erased from images quickly.
Portrait retouching: The tool can clean portrait photos, including removing blemishes and wrinkles for profile pictures.
Any input resolution: Images of any size can be imported and edited; free exports are capped at 720px, while the Pro plan has no resolution limit.
Free browser-based workflow: Users drag and drop an image directly on the site and start editing without installing software, on both desktop and mobile.
Developer API: An inpainting API works in environments such as Node.js, SwiftUI, and Kotlin, with documentation, a live demo, and code samples; special usage-based pricing applies.
ClipDrop tool bundle: A ClipDrop Pro subscription adds companion tools including remove background, replace background, uncrop, and generative fill.

Pricing & Fees

  • Pricing: The Free plan costs nothing with unlimited images capped at 720p export. The Pro plan is listed as starting from $3 per month ($36 per year, or $5 monthly), with unlimited images, unlimited resolution, and a higher-quality refiner. ClipDrop Pro starts from $11 and includes the wider ClipDrop toolset.
  • Free tier: The free version places no limit on the number of images processed, only on export resolution.
  • Trial and refunds: A free trial lets users test HD quality before paying; refunds are generally limited to cases such as technical difficulties, full within 14 days of purchase and prorated afterward.
  • Single-user licenses: Each subscription is individual and limited to one user, and can be paused, edited, or cancelled from a subscription management page.

Who It's For

Cleanup.pictures is aimed at photographers who need to remove timestamps, tourists, or cracks before delivering prints, and at studios that retouch portraits. Real estate agents use it to depersonalize and tidy room, apartment, and house photos. E-commerce sellers clean up product shots for online stores and social media, while creative agencies use it to remix existing images and produce visuals quickly. Developers can also integrate the underlying inpainting model through the API.
